Answer

If you put a potato on a couch it just sits there and does nothing else.
Such a person is called a "couch potato".

Answer

a couch potato would best be translated as "lazy" it refers to someone who is lazy/irresponsible and just sits on the couch watching TV all day.

Answer

A "couch potato"  usually spends his/her time watching TV or playing video games. He/she does no exercise. If you are an active or sporty person then you would not have much in common with a "couch potato."

Answer

They are not very good sentences for a language learning textbook, I don't think.

We would probably say, "It is not natural to be a couch potato".

And it's "following", not "forrowing"
